St Louis Catholic Primary School, Aylesbury – Refurbishment

St Louis School Nursery

CGA recently delivered multi-phased refurbishment works at St Louis Catholic Primary School in Aylesbury, completing the project in time for the students' and staff’s return. This project involved significant upgrades to several key areas of the school, as well as the transformation of an unused external courtyard into a new teaching space. The works were comprehensive, providing modern facilities and improving the school's overall functionality.

School Refurbishment Project Scope

School Toilet Refurbishment

The project included the installation of new toilet facilities, upgrading the school's amenities and enhancing hygiene and comfort for students and staff.

Welcome Reception and Communal Areas

A modern welcome reception and improved communal areas were also part of the refurbishment, creating a more inviting and functional space for students, staff, and visitors.

Courtyard Conversion

A former external courtyard was repurposed to provide additional teaching space. This involved extensive groundworks, steel installation, new rooflights, services, and decorations to transform the previously unused space into a functional learning environment.

Challenges and Solutions

Challenge: Repurposing an External Courtyard

The conversion of the external courtyard required complex groundworks and structural steel installation to ensure the new space was both functional and durable.


Solution: CGA installed steel supports and new rooflights to ensure the structural integrity and allow natural light to flood the new teaching area, making it a bright and airy space for students.

Challenge: Coordinating Multi-Phased Works in a Tight Schedule

As the school had limited downtime during the summer break, it was crucial to complete the project on time without causing disruption to the start of the new school year.


Solution: CGA carefully coordinated each phase of the project to ensure that all works, including services and decorations, were completed in a timely manner.
